Clean Virus from Android Device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Friends,
Is there any good app for the android device which makes sure my device is virus free and if there is any virus then it will clean it?
If there is some good antivirus app then please give the name of the app which I can find on play store? If that app is not available on play store then give the link of that where I can download it?
Thanks All.

Bro generally nearly all[not all] antivirus apps in play store are very heavy and ad generating apps.....
I prefer Dr.Web seccurity Light......
Which does not contain ads and clean ui that is only from virus scanning.......and also scans deeply....also lightweight...
Have a try.....

Antivirus / Protection app for Galaxy Y

Hello folks,
We use so many apps and games on our Galaxy Y, hopefully I have not faced any virus related issues on my Y.
But, I want to know from you guys.
Is Protection apps really good to have or it not required at all?
Please suggest some protection app(s) which is/are really good.
I have found some free as well as some paid antivirus/security apps in Google Play Store.
Which one is best?
It is always better to stay safe than sorry!
But, if we are safe without any antivirus, then it will be unnecessary to install an antivirus.
So, your suggestions are very much appreciated.

IMO, your brains are the best antiviruses. Read comments and Permissions required for all apps. If anything is suspicious, don't install it. Simple as that. Some AVs provide additional functions like blocking malicious sites or locating your lost phone though. You may wanna use the AV for those additional functions.
For me AVAST is the best one
GREEEEEETZ!!!
I am using netquin
For me Kaspersky Mobile Security the best & Simple Menu

Guy'z i think we did n't need any antivirus aps bcz android does n't have virus i f have u can use kaspery antivirus it very affective
Thank you all for your replies.
I have found plenty of antiviruses and security apps from Google Play Store and used some of them.
After dealing with some apps I found Kaspersky Mobile Security (Paid) and avast! Mobile Security (Free) is very good. It does not drain much battery and work always in background.
Also NQ Mobile Security & Antivirus (Free) have too many features but It slowed my mobile. And also the reviews of this app after upgrade is not good.
I have added some well known Antivirus/Security apps in the voting. So, vote for your likes and if you choose "Other" option then comment here with your choice.
Avast is the best & its free. Better than the paid applications.

I also thought that Antivirus is not necessary but one thing that makes me think about it is:
If antivirus is really bot necessary then why people download and use it from Play store? Some of them got thousands of downloads and 4.5+ rating. Not only that people also buying the paid antiviruses.
That's why I started this topic here to know why people use it and what is the best one to use.

Hey dude,
Antivirus just makes you satisfied and excitied about your cellphone just by doing the process of fake scanning your phone....
Acc to me antivirus just give mental satisfaction to the user except that its just useless....
Then also acc to me best AV is netquin and then cums avast......
yep antivirus is a WASTE
somewhere i read linux dont need a antivirus , n android is a linux dev.
i will say ' less educated/informed' people use paid antivirus .
kunal is right , it gives u SATISFACTION :O ;]
the best antivirus is a careful mind,
the best anti-theft is playing safe and not using my phone in the jeepney (Public Utility Vehicle) after the 1am shift
i worked hard for my phone so I take care of it always
and on the tech side, Android is a linux based OS, Linux is virus free
Thanks everyone for your useful opinions. Lately I have found that if you are not Using any app/games outside from Google's Play store (which is Recommend for android users) then you are safe from malwares or Security threat.
But one thing I have to say, Linux OS is not Completely Virus Free. Yes, it does not attacked by viruses too much like Windows OS, as Linux have very much Secured Root access. But it does not mean that it cannot be. See this Wiki page en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#_ .
But, if you stuck with Google Play Store's apps then obviously you are secured and there is no need of any antivirus to install.
Some of you may have also seen, some free apps from Play Store gives you anonymous ads on Notification bar without any action taken by you. These are also kind of security threat, but it does not harm you as long as you don't click those ads and your a/c balance is not deducted.
Though, this type of adwares cannot be caught by antiviruses. You need 'adaway' or similar type app to remove those ads.

Safe alternatives to Google.Play?

Hello
I know that I must wear a condom while surfing the net and installing apps to keep safe but is Google.Play the only safe place to visit for Android Apps?
Or are there other good, and safe places to download free and paid for apps?
I only ask as an app I bought from the Android Market, which changed to Google.Play is no longer on the site. However the app can be found in a place called AndroidPit. I can't find any reviews of this site and I don't know if I can trust them with my credit card details.
google play is the safest and cant tell about other "unofficial" alternatives,
but to browse apps appbrain is good but when you want to download something it forwards you to google play.. there is some plugin for appbrain which enables web download but i never tried it cause i m happy with google play
1mobile.com is a decent site, you can download the vast majority of free apps. Doesn't have any paid apps though. If you're in the US, Amazon App Store is probably a reasonable alternative.

I do not recommend market alternative ,if you want to play safe applications.
Google Play at least when it is discovered malware is deleted (even remotely).
Alternative market of this assurance level do not have it ..
Actually getjar.com is good, its how I get tapatalk free and its a reputable site so should be safe

app brain fast web install plugin works flawlessly , and i think app brain is a good choice/alt,
sometimes smoother than goo play
Google Play is far and beyond the best and safest place to find apps, including apps up to date.
how to download removed purchased apps

if you still have the direct link to your paid app, there is a high chance it is still available in the market, even if the developer and google says other wise!
I had a similar situation for an app called pzizz which was apparently removed from the market due to changes in the company that makes it,
neither the new management nor google told me it still exists,
I managed to download it though by accessing the market from my pc and downloading it.
this could happen only if
you have the original link of the paid app ( you could not find the app by searching or browsing google play, you must have the original link)
you purchased the app before it is removed, if you didnt, the direct link for the app would not work, only if you purchased the app and signed in by the account in which the app was purchased you would be able to see the app
requesting to download the app from a computer, you cant do this directly from your phone and further when it is downloaded it will not be linked to the market
good luck
Why not Aptoide?

I saw your post and I had to reply. I worked for Aptoide, which is an independent android marketplace and they do a screening to the apps (at least the ones in their "apps" repository) so that they're free of malware. They were thinking of launching paid apps soon, but for now you have a lot of free apps that are safe to download.
Try it, maybe you'll be surprised!

Hi, afaik the APK Downloader Extension is available for Chrome only so I don't think you can find anything similar for Firefox. However, if you'd like to access the restricted Google services on your phone (via app), you can try following the instructions in this thread*. Although I personally don't use it, users posting the thread reported it's working.
About the last part, legally they must not offer access to anything as it is their proprietary service, conversely, you have to comply with a terms of service in order to use their service even if they give you some access (read the fineprints lol). Practically, imo they shouldn't either, cuz they are a corporation and their first goal is profits so, at least in their perspective, for a country in which they won't be able to sell any apps, books, music etc., they completely shut off the service to preserve bandwith, server power and to prevent attacks. However, ethically (again imo), the only reasonable way is for users to inform themselves. We can't and shouldn't force Google or any other entity to offer, modify or shut down a service as per our wishes. What's good about Android is it's openness, not the Google services associated with it. And there are loadsa alternatives, most of them being more open and safe than Google's services
*For some reason, the forum doesn't let me modify the link I posted wrong, the correct link is forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=28259205
Please give a title to the thread,not simply [Q]
